[Bugfix] Fix Hermes tool call parser with streaming

[johngerving]

Fixes an issue where the first argument returned from a function call is not parsed properly by hermes_tool_parser.py when the type of the argument is not a string. This caused the delta of an integer argument to be cut off in the final delta returned to the client, eventually causing the entire first argument of the tool call to be missing.

FIX #18108

👋 Hi! Thank you for contributing to the vLLM project.

💬 Join our developer Slack at https://slack.vllm.ai to discuss your PR in #pr-reviews, coordinate on features in #feat- channels, or join special interest groups in #sig- channels.

Just a reminder: PRs would not trigger full CI run by default. Instead, it would only run fastcheck CI which starts running only a small and essential subset of CI tests to quickly catch errors. You can run other CI tests on top of those by going to your fastcheck build on Buildkite UI (linked in the PR checks section) and unblock them. If you do not have permission to unblock, ping simon-mo or khluu to add you in our Buildkite org.

Once the PR is approved and ready to go, your PR reviewer(s) can run CI to test the changes comprehensively before merging.

To run CI, PR reviewers can either: Add ready label to the PR or enable auto-merge.

Can you write a test case for this? Thanks

I stumbled into this as well.

Can you write a test case for this? Thanks

I'd be happy to collaborate with this. Are there examples of other similar tests that I can use as a guide?

Is this going to be merged soon?

I think the solution in PR #20824 is better than the one in the current PR.
Could you help try out this PR #20824 ? @odaiodeh
